The Flip Flops are telling the story. They are discoloured, worn, torn, patched up and eventuallytossed away or lost. After along trip through Asia or Africa they end up in sewers and in theocean. Then they are washed up on the shores of Africa. There they are found, collected, andeventually reclaimed. Studio Schneemann turned these into a collection of sustainable designobjects in which the eventful travel tales of worn Flip Flops is captured and translated.
